This new year’s eve, Jennifer and Pat had something very special to celebrate – their new lives together as husband and wife! The very intimate ceremony was held on a secluded part of the golf course at the classy Annandale Golf Club in Pasadena. The ceremony site was so private in fact, that each pair of guests was equipped with their very own golf cart to access the site. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Catalina Island while standing in this area.
Small weddings definitely give off a different vibe; the bride and groom are usually more relaxed, and seem to really soak in all the emotions the day brings. Jennifer and Pat were no exception. These two are so crazy in love with each other, and I’m sure you’ll agree when you see the images. I loved that they held nothing back in front of the camera, which is 90% of what creates an image that is truly “you” and “natural.” The photographer can only do so much. Brides and grooms-to-be: take note from Jennifer and Pat! Relax, enjoy the day, be yourself, and you’ll have beautiful wedding photos.

Between holiday traffic & helping his sons get ready, Pat accidently ended up with blue socks! 
Jennifer’s AWESOME gown was hand made by her friend. So feminine, soft, and pretty! 
Guests were given soft blankets as favors.
Look at that VIEW!

Brianna and Teren were both majoring in music at Chapman University in Orange when they met and fell in love. I also graduated from Chapman University, though I never crossed paths with either of them. It would only be fitting that we do their engagement photos in the very place their romance began: on the Chapman University campus. We also stopped at several spots in Old Towne Orange (aka “The Circle”). Honestly, this couple is so ridiculously in love, and what’s better is their high level of respect for one another. Oh, and did I mention that they were such a blast to photograph?! Anyone who will mount the Chapman University panther statue for a “fun pic” is a winner in my book (I won’t mention any names…)
Cool Zen garden behind the Fish Interfaith Center at Chapman University.
We had fun playing around with different styles of posing.
Where it all began…the school of music at Chapman University.
The old stomping grounds!! Oh, memories!
The Business School doors were unlocked, so we took advantage of shooting by this cool artwork. 
And one fun/cheesy pic to end our session!

Talk about a feast for the eyes! Erin and Dave held their Los Angeles wedding at the incredibly chic Oviatt Penthouse in downtown LA. Erin looked absolutely stunning in a sexy lace gown and to-die-for gold Prada heels. Dave wasn’t lookin’ too shabby either, in his fitted tux. Luckily, we had plenty of time to take bride and groom photos before the ceremony at the posh Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, and on the streets of downtown LA. The yellow tile shower at the Oviatt Penthouse, though unconventional, was my favorite spot. If you’re looking for a unique Los Angeles wedding venue, and you’re hosting no more than 125 guests, do yourself a favor and check out Oviatt Penthouse. Enjoy the pics!
